A 0.272-kg volleyball approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 12.6 m/s. The player strikes the ball with her fist and c

auses the ball to move in the opposite direction with a speed of 21.6 m/s. (a) What impulse is delivered to the ball by the player? (Take the direction of final velocity to be the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) kg · m/s (b) If the player's fist is in contact with the ball for 0.0600 s, find the magnitude of the average force exerted on the player's fist.

(a) +9.30 kg m/s

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to its change in momentum:

I= \Delta p = m \Delta v = m (v-u)

where

m is the mass of the object

\Delta v is the change in velocity of the object, with

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

For the volleyball in this problem:

m = 0.272 kg

u = -12.6 m/s

v = +21.6 m/s

So the impulse is

I=(0.272 kg)(21.6 m/s - (-12.6 m/s)=+9.30 kg m/s

(b) 155 N

The impulse can also be rewritten as

I=F \Delta t

where

F is the force exerted on the volleyball (which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the volleyball on the fist of the player, according to Newton's third law)

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

In this situation, we have

\Delta t = 0.06 s

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the magnitude of the average force:

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{9.30 kg m/s}{0.06 s}=155 N

A runner begins running at the beginning of 7th period and stops running at the end of the period. She runs at a pace of 10 km/h
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

She run for, t = 0.92 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The velocity of the runner, v = 10 km/h

The distance covered by the runner, d = 9.2 km

The relationship between the velocity, displacement and time is given by the formula,

                           t = d / v

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                           t = 9.2 / 10

                             = 0.92 s

Hence, she ran for, t = 0.92 s

What would we need to do to make an electromagnet strong enough to move cars and trains
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The combined magnetic force of the magnetized wire coil and iron bar makes an electromagnet very strong. In fact, electromagnets are the strongest magnets made. An electromagnet is stronger if there are more turns in the coil of wire or there is more current flowing through it.

Scientists can use spectral analysis of stars to determine which of the following?
RoseWind [281]
I do believe all of these but core elements can be determined by spectroscopy which includes the use of electromagnetic radiation. Both the surface and core temperature can be measured using light. Surface elements can be found because the absorption lines of different elements in the spectra of the star, but I haven't heard anything about using spectral analysis for core elements.

Who represents the worst of the iron age in his attempt to feed jupiter once living flesh?
wolverine [178]

Lycaon represents the worst of the iron age in his attempt to feed jupiter once living flesh.

<h3>What is iron age?</h3>

The iron Age is the final epoch of the three-age division of the prehistory and protohistory of humanity.

It was preceded by the Stone Age, and the Bronze Age.

Who is lycaon?

In Greek mythology, Lycaon was a king of Arcadia who, in the most popular version of the myth, tested Zeus' omniscience by serving him the roasted flesh of Lycaon's own son Nyctimus, in order to see whether Zeus was truly all-knowing.

Thus, Lycaon represents the worst of the iron age in his attempt to feed jupiter once living flesh.

Calculate the change in length of a 90.5 mm aluminum bar that has increased in temperature by from -14.4 oC to 154.6 oC
nignag [31]

Answer:

 ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

This is a thermal expansion exercise

          ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

          ΔT = T_f - T₀

where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature

Let's reduce the length to SI units

          L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m

let's calculate

          ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))

          ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m

     

using the criterion of three significant figures

          ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m
